قُدِرَتْ was gained power

This is a passive-shaped verb: the power is gained over her, with no agent spelled out as the explicit subject. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's vowels, and here it presents the gaining of control as something that came about, the feminine ending agreeing with her.
